House 8810 is that house on your block. You know the one. The one you drive by slowly and it makes you sigh. The one you walk the dog by in hopes that the lights are on so you can take a peek inside. It's the one that wins yard of the month consecutively, and is always immaculately decked out for each holiday. It's the house that somehow still has the time to host the best parties in town. It's the one that makes you look at yourhouse, and think "how do I get you to be more like House 8810."This house, it's the house we've always wanted. It's the house that even in our rebel teen years, we could still picture ourselves in our slightly modern kitchen with our retro apron on, cooking dinner with our future spouse and watching our little ones run around the kitchen; and even as we day dreamed we smiled knowing someday it could be ours.

This is our way of bringing you all of those fun and funky finds that made "that house" so appealing! WithHouse 8810....Your House is now THE House on the block!

I love that little tooth fairy kit! So official. And the personal library kit is such a quaint idea. Remember the days with stamping and names written in pencil. So Wes Anderson, right?!

Oh man! when I bought my first house a year and a half ago, i wanted it to be THIS HOUSE! it's robin's-egg blue and only 759 square feet, so it's an adorable little thing! Oh what I wouldn't do for a chance to win this gift card!!!!

Oh my goodness! How would you pick? The retro tablecloths are fabulous, the whimsical old school tableware is all kinds of happy, and I'd be precious {if I do say so myself} in one of those lovely aprons.

How fun! I love buying books at the thrift sore and coming home to find they have the old style check-out cards in the back. I always wonder what the people who's names are on the card did with their lives...
